A Study of Potential Disease Modifying Treatments in Individuals at Risk for or With a Type of Early Onset AD Caused by a Genetic Mutation

Phase 2/3

This study looks at treatments for people at risk for a specific type of early Alzheimer's disease (AD) caused by a genetic mutation. **Alzheimer's disease** is a brain disorder that slowly destroys memory and thinking skills. The study has two stages:

**Stage 1:** Tests if the study drug can stop or slow down the build-up of a harmful protein called *amyloid beta (Aβ)* in the brain. This is done using a special brain scan called **PET imaging**.

**Stage 2:** Looks at how reducing Aβ affects other signs of Alzheimer's disease by comparing results with those from a group who didn't receive the drug.

  • The study lasts for about 8 years: 4 years for Stage 1 and another 4 for Stage 2.
  • Participants are people with a family history of Alzheimer's mutations, but who currently show no symptoms.
  • Participants will need to attend regular clinic visits and will be monitored through various tests, including brain scans and blood tests.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
